"I will also ask (son) Saif and (daughter-in-law) Kareena to join the project," she added.

Talking about her association with the show, Soha said: "I come from a privileged family and by that I never mean economic privileges, but educational privileges. I was quite stubborn, but I thank my family for supporting, however, sometimes they disagreed too."
"They were in total agreement when I wanted to continue my Master's, but they disagreed when I wanted to enter films. However, they never stop me from doing what I want to. I am very happy that I have such a family and parents.
"However, I am aware that many girls don't have that life and this is the reason why I support the show, which shows a message," she added.
The "Rang De Basanti" fame actress also feels that when a celebrity endorses a cause it makes an impact.
